Quotes 

• Devon Miles : Michael, what's this I hear about K.I.T.T. playing football?

  Michael Knight : I tell ya, Devon. K.I.T.T. is the next O.J.

• Jim Courtney : This belonged to a partner of mine. You remind me of him a lot.

  Michael Knight : No kidding, what was his name?

  Jim Courtney : Michael Long... a special guy. By any standard

  [hands over Long's old police badge] 

• K.I.T.T. : Why do I feel like I'm entering the jaws of a cougar?

  Michael Knight : It's football fever, pal!

  K.I.T.T. : Well, I sure hope there's a cure.

• Michael Knight : Maybe it's time we started working together.

  Jim Courtney : [flabbergasted]  Working together?

  Michael Knight : Yeah, Jimbo, working together!

  Jim Courtney : Now wait a minute, 'Jimbo', that's a name out of the past. What made you call me that?

  Michael Knight : I don't know, it just seemed natural.

  Jim Courtney : Natural, huh? Sure that's all it is?

  Michael Knight : Yeah I'm sure.

  Jim Courtney : Well, it's only natural for me to work alone. So forget it.

• Michael Knight : Just remember one thing: we're on the same side here.

  Jim Courtney : Yeah? What side is that? If anyone smelled a little kinky it's you, Mr. Michael Knight. I checked you out. Up to two years ago, you didn't exist. Now do me a favor: disappear again.

• K.I.T.T. : Michael, If you're going to use a multi million dollar system to read a 25 cent paper, you could at least read the front page. Be well informed.

  Michael Knight : Ok, wise guy, lay a little world, national and local on me.

  K.I.T.T. : That's more like it.

• K.I.T.T. : 22 men in mock war regalia knocking each other down for posession of an air filled bladder made of a pigskin... Well, some human institution confuse me but football is a total mystery.

  Michael Knight : I wish I could help you out, K.I.T.T., but it's a little like butter milk: either you like it or you don't

• Devon Miles : [Speaking on KITT's video intercom]  Michael, I expected you over an hour ago.

  Michael Knight : Whatever it is will have to wait.

  Devon Miles : I beg your pardon?

  Michael Knight : I'm sorry Devon I'm a little uptight. You remember Jim Courtney?

  Devon Miles : Courtney? Your partner when you were on the police force?

  Michael Knight : Yeah well, when you're a rookie, you don't have a partner Devon, you have a second father, and that's what Jim was to me.

  Devon Miles : What happened?

  Michael Knight : His daughter Stacy was in an accident last night - hit and run.

  Devon Miles : I'm sorry about that Michael, but I fail to see how that postpones our work.

  Michael Knight : Well, whoever did it left her lying alone in the street, and I'm gonna make sure I found out who it was and make sure he gets what he deserves! God knows Stacy didn't.

• Mark Taylor : [Admiring KITT]  Nice lines. Is it fast?

  Michael Knight : Yeah. I'd say it's about the fastest thing on four wheels!

  Mark Taylor : Oh! Now, that's quite a boast Mr Knight!

  Michael Knight : Why don't you try me? I mean you are the Number 1 guy at Racer's Edge aren't you?

  Mark Taylor : That's true. I'm also pretty busy, I got my boys to think about.

  [Loudly as his team exits the locker room] 

  Mark Taylor : We're gonna win the Superbowl this year!

  [Ponders for a minute] 

  Mark Taylor : I tell ya what, our Number 2 man can give you quite a race.

  Michael Knight : Well, I gotta start somewhere! Why not?

  Mark Taylor : Of course, Jack won't run for fun - fifty thousand is his normal wager. Still interested?

  Michael Knight : No, no, I'm excited! Time and place?

  Mark Taylor : 5pm, club track.

  Michael Knight : I'll be there.

  Mark Taylor : Beat him, and maybe I'll give you a run myself.

  Michael Knight : I'll hold you to it!

• Michael Knight : How's Stacy?

  Jim Courtney : The same.

  Michael Knight : Any objections to someone saying a prayer for her?

  Jim Courtney : Sure, she needs all she can get.

• Mark Taylor : [after Jack dies in a car race]  I wonder why we do it.

  Michael Knight : So do I, Mr Taylor. So do I.

• Michael Knight : [after losing KITT in a race]  Take good care of it, huh?

  Mark Taylor : Just be glad your car is the only thing you lost. Push me again and you're history!
